Bone Cookies
- Bone cookies are ideal as a gift for dog lovers, and they are easy to make.
- Flood the bone-shaped sugar cookies with white icing and then add a sprinkling of cocoa powder to give the bone some depth and a realistic look.
- If you want to, you can use an edible marker to write some words on the bone, which is a cute way to personalize the cookies.
Paw Print Cookies
- When piped onto a cookie, paw prints are undoubtedly one of the cutest parts of a dog.
- It is also very easy, making it ideal for dog-themed parties or your dog's birthday (just don't let them eat the cookies!)
- The key here is to use the wet-on-wet technique, which means you have to work quickly. Make sure your two icings have a similar consistency, and after you have applied the flooding icing, make sure to apply the paw prints to the surface while the base is still wet.
- This will result in a smooth surface and a cute design.
3D Paw Print Cookies
- To make 3D paw print cookies, you need to get the consistency of the icing right. Or else, your paw prints may crater- not a good look on anything 3D!
- The first step to this is to make sure that the cookies have cooled and that the icing that you used to flood the cookies is well-crusted. That means it is set, and then you can apply the 3D aspect or the paw prints to the top of the cookie.
- Ensure the icing is well-crusted, or it may suck the moisture out of the icing paw print! It will also prevent cratering.
